A Few Things

This photo has nothing to do with this post, but I love the colors. It makes me think of summer and how much I enjoy this sultry time of year.

I have lots of news--

1. I'm out of my "funk." Life is happy again and I'm totally fine to do my hair tomorrow morning.

2. I finished A Good Yarn. . .and now I'm obligated to forge through Skeletons of the Zahara this week. The book makes me feel like I'm on the desert. I swear I drink more water while I'm reading it than a camel refueling.

3. Sometimes when I think my trials are hard, I think of Britney Spears.

4. I'm considering a job change. The truth is that my current occupation isn't dirty enough for Mike Rowe to visit. I was thinking about moving back to Idaho to work in the potato processing plant. I've heard it's dirty & smelly--plus they wear those cool hairnets.

5. We watched Charly at Laura & Eric's place. That movie really sucks.

6. I'm off of Diet Dr. Pepper. Officially--yesterday was my last. . .unless it's a birthday, holiday, or really crappy day. Those are the only exceptions.

7. In general, men in my age group are strange. . .or certainly have some hidden strangeness that I will eventually discover.

8. I bought some new shoes at Nordstrom's. I think I love them, but I can't seem to commit to them completely. Does this say something about my committment issues? I think it might. All these years, I thought it was the men in my life that kept me single, but now I'm beginning to wonder. . .

9. The sugar-free popsicles in my freezer are only 15 calories each. I wonder how long a person could survive on them solely. . .

10. I'm running the Hobble Creek Half Marathon this Saturday. Yes, I've already forgotten the pain of last week's race.

11. Poncho and I started 24--season 4 last night. For those inquiring minds who are continually asking about my relationship with Poncho, it's strictly plutonic. If that changes, I'll let you know. Besides, I have my eye on someone else right now. If that changes, I'll let you know.

12. I am going to see the Bourne Ultimatum this week if it's the last thing I do.

13. Dinner party this week with individual sized homemade chicken pot pies. I might even test out my new double muffin pans for a molten cake extravaganza. Any takers?

14. Finally had some time to watch Pres. Faust's funeral service this afternoon. It effected me.

15. Education Week, here I come. . .or here I go.
